The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 982

James stood tall and straight, his towering figure practically shielding Mirabella from view. His expression didn't change as he cleared his throat and simply declared, "Wealthy!"

Mirabella: "..."

Nearby, Curtis was puzzled, wondering what on earth James was talking about. It seemed completely out of the blue and unrelated.

Mirabella thought it over and realized that securing the network for the National Security Building was indeed a lucrative deal. She adjusted her coat, "Let's get going. The sooner we finish, the better."

"Agreed." James nodded, then glanced at Curtis, who was still utterly confused, and gave him a nudge with his foot.

Curtis snapped back to reality, scratched his head, and walked over to the metallic door, pressing the buzzer.

Soon after, the door opened. Curtis flashed his ID badge, and only then did the second, password-protected door unlock. He turned around, "James, Ms. Mirabella, please go ahead. I'll park the car."

With that, he headed back to the roadside, bent down, and got into the driver's seat.

As James entered, the guard at the entrance, armed with a rifle, saw him and immediately saluted in a standard military fashion before allowing them through. A closer look at the guard's demeanor revealed utmost respect.

Mirabella followed by James's side, passing sentries along the way, not to mention the infrared security systems hidden around. She smirked slightly and whispered, "Are you sure I don't need a blindfold before entering?"

James glanced at Mirabella, seeing her not the least bit nervous but rather intrigued, he raised an eyebrow, "This isn't a military base."

"As a commoner, getting to enter such a revered place is an eye-opener for me," Mirabella remarked.

But the eye-opening experience was a minor detail.

Entering the National Security Building in broad daylight, and earning a fortune in the process, was the main event.
